Water Baptism in Thornton Cape Town




“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;” – Mark 16: 15-16

A few new folk have been added to our fellowship in the last few months and on Thursday the 6th of November 2014 two of our group were baptised.


Elizabeth Mattheetestified that she had recently become a believer and was excited about her new found faith and even though she had just had an operation on her right arm and was all bandaged up, she was not going to let that stop her from being baptised.



















Maryanne Collett testified that she had been a Christian but had backslidden. She had this physical disability which impacted negatively on her relationships. This was a result of a heart operation. Even family were unkind to her. In spite of this she always knew that God loved and protected her. Despite negative medical predictions God blessed her with a beautiful baby son.






























We then joined the candidates in singing the Chorus “I have decided to follow Jesus...” We had witnessed the two baptismal candidates who had made a declaration that they had died with Christ and had risen to a new Life in Him.

 May God bless them as they each journey with Him.

Western Cape Family Camp 2014

Warm sunny weather greeted campers as they arrived on the Friday at De Hollandsche Mollen just outside Franschoek.  Peter and Mary Hawes, after a long journey joined us for a wonderful weekend full of Fellowship and the richness of God’s Word. The Friday was given over to settling in and renewing acquaintances, many folk only arriving Saturday.However a blessed praise and worship meeting was enjoyed after dinner, the Holy Ghost giving immediate direction to the weekend through an abundance of Spiritual Gifts that continued to  proliferate in all the meetings.



The Lord began by reminding us that though we can plumb the greatest depths or scale the tallest heights His love is infinite and we enjoyed a glorious revelation of His Greatness, which love and greatness demands a response. His willingness to impart His Living Word into our hearts in a powerful way became so obvious. We were exhorted to examine our hearts condition, for it is only with the right heart that we can receive the Word with gladness. The ministry was rich and full and so much more could be said and many reports written.



Not a single person left without having had a personal and intimate appointment with the Lord where the deep issues of the heart were exposed and brought to light. I think it fair to say that we all made some serious admissions and committed ourselves to His working, bringing powerful change in our lives.




It would be remiss not to give a big thank you to our “Kitchen Hero’s” who freely gave of themselves, selflessly ministering to our needs. It is a massive task catering for the camp, lots of late nights that become early mornings in preparation and constant labour throughout the weekend to present   Five Star food! We also thank Peter and Mary Hawes for being so willing to come all this way to minister to us, it was a blessing.

Tony & Carol Robson Cape Town July 2014





We Capetonians tend always to blame visitors for the bad weather and just as we slipped into our coldest winter in Forty years Tony and Carol Robson arrived for a two week stay! Now I’m not saying there is a connection but if there is even the remotest possibility that there is, they made up for it a hundred times over as they shared the Lord Jesus every where they went.

Believe me they went every where. In the Cape we are not backward in coming forward. Tony and Carol visited every fellowship, True Light Meeting and outreach we have going. They traveled the South Peninsula, Northern Suburbs, ventured behind the Boereworse curtain, attempted whale watching in Gansbaai and trekked all the way to Langebaan.




We had such wonderful input from Tony and Carol as they ministered to us lovingly and patiently, encouraging, strengthening and teaching in every place. Thank you so very much for your time and trouble; we really enjoyed the warm fellowship and look forward to seeing you again.

Christ as Life




At Southfield, we have been challenged to consider 'Christ as Life', and how He is living His Life through us.

With that in mind, I am writing a quote from G.H. Knight that I read this morning.....

"What joy it gives, and strength
 too, to begin each day by feeling, 'On this day once again I am to live simply as a servant of Jesus Christ: His will and not my own will is to sway me every hour'
...'A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then I dare not be the servant of sin; I must be holy as my Master is holy.
...'A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then I will not be the servant of men: the maxims (the governing principles) of this will not rule me; I will not take my cue from the world; I am under orders only to my Master in heaven.
...A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then I must be the servant of men, to help them, to comfort them, and to stoop  to the lowest of them in their behalf as my Master did.
...A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then, if His servant anywhere, I must be His servant everywhere; in all society with men I must never forget my servanthood to Him: I must show myself His servant openly as well as confess it secretly.
...A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then, if I want to know Him, to walk as He walked, to plant my feet in His footprints. As the eye of servants look unto the hand of their masters, to see how their work should be done, and copy what they see, so my eyes "must wait upon The Lord."  If His service is sometimes difficult, I must not complain: He may use me as He wills, and at the end of all I will be more than satisfied if I only hear Him say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of The Lord' "

May the Lord Jesus Christ enable us to be all of the above, is my prayer in Jesus name. Jean.

Western Cape Men's Camp 2014





This year the annual Western Cape Men’s Camp took place a little later than usual, just as an early winter snap put snow on the mountains! It was good to see men representing practically every fellowship and True Light Group come together in earnest anticipation of what the Lord would say to us. Seeing the wonderful cross-section of brethren gathered at De Hollandsche Molen in Franschoek was a reminder of just how much the Lord has done in growing his work over the past year.

The Lord wasted little time and got right down to business challenging us to dig deep, past all the rubbish in our lives, to get rid of all the “rommell in die trommell” (the unofficial catch phrase over the weekend). It was time to be the men with the ministries that He could use. What a blessing to hear the earnest discussions taking place during the breaks between meetings as men discussed the message and challenge. The ministry was supported by relevant, personal testimonies from a number of brethren that brought an intimacy to the whole weekend. The fruit of this weekend is having an effect in the local fellowships as brethren have continued to apply themselves in response to the challenge and we see how the Lord is building His Church in the Cape!


We thank Bro Peter Hawyes for driving all the way from KwaZulu Natal to share the goodness of Jesus and blessing us in the challenge of His word.

Malawi and Mozambique April 2014





Oh man! What an experience. It was totally not what I expected. I was under the impression I was just going along to see what the whole Malawi mission was about and act as support. Boy was I surprised at what the Lord had in store for me.

I flew from Cape Town on 2 April to meet up with the mission team on the 3rd in Johannesburg. I did not really know any of the brethren except for Rupert and Carl from Southfield assembly in Cape Town. Being a very quiet and reserved person I was a bit nervous of meeting the other brethren. When I got to the pick-up point we introduced ourselves and we were on our way to a very long journey to Mozambique.

We were told to brace ourselves for going through the different borders on this journey since it can take long and we could pick up some hassles. After going through the border of Zimbabwe, which went very smoothly I might add, we stayed over at Bubi village for the night where we already started to connect as a group. The next morning we were off to the border of Mozambique. After going through the Mozambican border, we realized that the Lord was really blessing us and keeping his hand over us for I was told this was one of the easiest border crossings they have had in the last couple of years.

When we got to Mozambique we stayed over at this lovely family's house. Johan, Anne and their two boys were very hospitable.  They made us feel very comfortable and at home. This would be our base in Mozambique for the next 4 days. After having an awesome meal that evening we went to sleep.

After breakfast the next morning we were split into teams. We then had a prayer meeting asking the Lord to bless and direct us and to give us the wisdom and for Him to talk through us. Each team would be going into the different villages. Myself, Dean Botha(from the Bluff assembly) and Allan Hemphill(our team leader) were combined into one team. All the other guys were split into their respective teams. At this point I was asked to try and give my input and preach at the different locations, even if it is just 5 min. As a group we took off to go meet our interpreters since the people we needed to go and preach to did not understand a word of English. This I thought was going to be a task and a half. How do you really get a message across to someone with an interpreter??? We got to meet our interpreter named Bonde. What a pleasure of a man. He was very friendly and could speak English quite comfortably.  Off we went to our first village.

After driving for a while we reached our destination. I was overwhelmed by the way they welcomed us with singing and dancing. They were really happy to see us. We greeted everybody and went into their little church. Most of the churches are built out of clay and mud and have grass roofs. For seating they all sit on a log or even just on the ground. They gave us their only comfortable plastic garden chairs to sit on. To start with they really praise and worship for quite a bit. They can easily worship and sing for about an half hour to forty five minutes. Then we formally introduced ourselves and started preaching.

Allan has done this Malawi trip a few times before so we thought  best that he should kick off with the first session. At this time I became  very very worried since all the way to this church I was trying to plan something to say but could not find anything. Here I was sitting with absolutely nothing to say. I even asked my other team mate, Dean, if he had something to say but he was in the same boat as me. As Allan started sharing his message the Lord laid a message on my heart. How happy I was but I was still very nervous since I have never preached or shared anything to anyone. Even at home at our assembly I do not share. I am always the quiet one who listens. After Allan finished I got up and shared what the Lord laid on my heart. It was only between 5 and 10 min but that was my very first ministry. All I shared about was the Lord Jesus dying for us on the cross and how much he really loves us and how he took our sins to the grave. They really responded well. After me was Dean. What was so amazing to me is that everything that we said tied in with each others ministries. There were also a handful of people that gave their lives to the Lord.

During the following 3 days we covered another 3 villages. What I really enjoyed about all the villages is that the people were very humble and grateful
for the message from the Lord. At one of the villages we even had 2 men wanting to be filled with the Holy Ghost. We prayed for them and will continue to do
so since at that very moment they weren't filled.

After our 4 days in Mozambique, we were off to cross over into Malawi and face another border crossing. By this time we were sure we were going to have
hassles at the border but yet again, the Lord blessed us since it went very smoothly. That evening we reached our destination, the Zambezi mission house. This was our base for the next 4 days.  Getting to know the Malawians, I realized they were just as humble as in Mozambique. By this time Dean and I were far more confident in ministering.  We found this crowd to be just as responsive to the Word of God for here too we had people responding to the gospel. How refreshing that was. Our last stop of the Malawi leg had around 400 members in the church. There were people peeling out the doors listening to the ministries as the hall we had was too small to accommodate everyone.

All locations we went to in both Mozambique and Malawi, none of them had chairs to sit on. The people sat on either the floor or thin log tree stumps.
This got me thinking of how easy we have it here. They were only too happy to sit there for two to three hour sessions at a time without complaining.

What really hit home for me after I shared my messages from the Lord is how happy these people were to receive this simple message. This is when I realized that these people don't really know much about the Lord. They knew the basic bible stories but not the deeper meaning of any of what the Bible is teaching us. All these people were so thankful to just and hear the basic gospel and principles explained to them. I would say that they really have child-like minds. How refreshing that was to me since it made me realize that we sometimes get so wrapped up in too much detail that we forget what the most important thing is. Just love the Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul and everything else will start falling into place. You can go to church everyday and read your bible for hours every day but if you haven't given your heart to Jesus and seriously fall in love with him the Bible will be like a good bedtime story.

I really look forward to going again and would seriously urge any brethren from the Assemblies to go on this trip. It will not only benefit the people you are ministering to but will quicken your spirit personally.

Lord Bless

Mozambique November 2013

Before going into the detail of our visit to the fellowships in Mozambique, I would like to point out that GOD had his way, HE provided and HE showed us HIS glory! From booking additional tickets the day before departure to arriving safely back home on Tuesday 2 December at 23h00.


“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you” (James 4:8) How we experienced this verse during our visit…..



Thursday, 28 November 2013


So I depart for my first ‘outreach’ of my life.





  Excited, nervous, but willing.  We left Cape Town at 09:40, departing for Johannesburg.  From there we would fly to Nampula, Mozambique, our ‘home’ base for the stay.  Or so we thought… Already in the plane and ready for takeoff, we were informed by the air hostess that we will not be flying directly to Nampula, but go via Maputo. Why?  Because they said so. So off we went. After an eternity of nothing but waiting, and being  ‘ordered’ to wait when inquiring about the wait, we were at last on our flight to Nampula. (patience tested to the extreme). At 21h30 we stumbled into our accommodation in Nampula, exhausted, but grateful.





 Rupert informed us that Elias (our brother in Mozambique and
translator) would only be joining us late Friday evening, as there were no
flights from Chimoio to Nampula on Thursday. Friday will accordingly be spent
seeking the face of the LORD.  




Friday, 29 November 2013


A band of brothers (in SA) meets on Friday mornings at 06h00 to pray.  Francois suggested that we also get up at 06h00 to be with them in spirit. And so started the first of many prayer and worship sessions. We prayed that the Spirit might lead us and we prayed for miracles. It is difficult to explain in words what we experienced during these prayer and worship sessions, but take my word for it… it was unbelievably blessed and amazing and awesome and powerful.


While preparing breakfast, Rupert contacted an old friend, Johan Cilliers, who also stayed in Chimoio.  Rupert was informed that Johan and his 2 boys, Matthew and Daniel were very ill, with high fever, and the doctors did not know what caused the sickness.  Johan was very concerned as he was in Chimoio and his wife and kids in Natal. Rupert told him that we would pray for them.  So, at 09h30 we prayed. We finished at 09h50 and within 5 minutes we received a message that the fever of the kids were broken and that they were sitting up and eating. (something that they were unable to do for the 3 days before) Praise the LORD, oh my soul!  Miracle performed…


After a lovely bowl of Oats, courtesy of Francois’ cooking skills, and inspired by what we experienced through prayer, we headed into town to get much needed supplies. Unfortunately this experience was disappointing, as poverty and a struggle to survive were written all over the people’s faces. 

Upon our return we decided to take an afternoon nap. The previous days’ travel, and the humidity taking its toll.  We woke up about 2 hours later and spend time together in the presence of the LORD, reading and discussing HIS word and praying and worshiping HIM!


Come dinner time, I was informed that I was in charge of dinner.  Ok,  Francois did help.  (a bit ) 






After dinner we waited for Elias.  And waited. And waited.  He only arrived at 12h05 AM (Saturday morning), exhausted, but with a huge smile on his face.  Elias had a quick bite to eat and then it was off to bed. 


Saturday, 30 November 2013


After breakfast we thanked the LORD for Elias’ safe arrival and a good night’s rest.  We prayed for the day’s activities and for Johan and his family. The presence of the HOLY SPIRIT was extremely intense.


The plan was to be at the fellowship at 09h30.  Our SUV was to be delivered at 08h00.  Please note…that was the plan.  At about 09h00 we gave Kabul (Taxi man) a call to enquire about our car.  Apparently it was in an accident the previous night, but Kabul was on his way with another car.   If I recall correctly we received the car at 10h00, with almost no fuel in the tank and a funny smell coming from the engine. After refueling and opening the bonnet to look at the engine and fiddling with a few tubes and cables and some more looking and imitating mechanics, we decided that the car was ready to go, so off we went. We arrived at our designated parking at about 10h45, greeted by Sebastian. The heat and humidity hit you like a brick wall when getting out of the air-conditioned car. We all took a gulp of our 500ml water, while being informed that we will be walking the rest of the way to the church. 






25 minutes later we arrived to warm welcomes, big smiles and singing.  The church was a brick/ mud building with a grass roof, 2 doors and a window.  There was about a 5cm gap between the top of the walls and the roof.  This was ingenious, as all the warm air rose, and escaped out through the gap, while colder (only very slightly) air came in through the doors and windows.  Air conditioning – Africa style….


We introduced ourselves and then Rupert communicated the first 2 principles of the doctrine of Christ, i.e. repentance of dead works and faith towards God.  The fellowship struggled with the concept of dead works. “Dead works” was repeated so often that I do not think that I will ever forget the Portugese for “dead works”, “aubresh mortesh”.  (don’t quote me on the spelling) I then also had an opportunity to share a testimony with the fellowship.  My first ‘action’ of our ‘mission’.  We took a break and Francois took over from Rupert.  Rupert concluded and responsibility was allocated to a few brothers who really understood the 2 principles.  It was very enlightening to see the eagerness with which they accepted the responsibility.  They were informed to communicate these 2 principles to friends and family. 


We left at about 16h30, eager for a cold shower and dinner. After dinner we praised the LORD for the day and the work that HE has done through us.  We prayed for our families back home and the days ahead.  The LORD was exalted through song and prayer.  Rupert read from 1 Sam 17 (David and Goliath) and the day was ended on a high! I went to bed excited, and with the anticipation that this was only the beginning.



Sunday, 1 December 2013


At 06h10 we were in our car on our way to the fellowships in Mossuril.  The reason for the early departure was two fold, one – local elections that should have taken place the Wednesday before was moved to Sunday, and we wanted no part in the chaos associated this, and two – it is a two and a half hour drive to Mossuril.


We arrived in Mossuril at 08h36, after an uneventful drive. (thank you LORD) We did however enjoy glorious worship and prayer on our way to there. Mossuril is the home of the first slave trading post and first Catholic Church in Africa.  Rupert took us to the sight were thousands of slaves were auctioned off.  One could not help to feel very sad when walking down the ramp that was many a slave’s last step on dry land.





After the sight seeing we headed off to the fellowship at Namikop 2.  Here we were REALLY welcomed.  The presence of the LORD was tangible and you could see it on the faces of the congregation.  Everyone was excited and anticipation lingered in the air. 





After introducing ourselves, Rupert started with the teaching.  It was about the HOLY GHOST and how you know that you have received it. Various answers were given, but not the one Rupert was looking for.  I felt the Spirit moving in me and felt that I should say something.  While Rupert was waiting on his preferred answer, I asked if I could have an opportunity to talk.  So there I was in front of the fellowship, with nothing prepared.  And so, I started at the beginning.  Why did GOD allow Jesus to come to earth to die?  John 3:16.  And from there I was guided by the HOLY GHOST to end with Luke 11: 11-13, where Jesus said that all you have to do to receive the HOLY GHOST is to ask our FATHER in heaven.  That was really, really AWESOME!  I sat down and Rupert continued.


Rupert asked the fellowship if there was anyone who wanted to receive the HOLY GHOST.  Everyone got up and went to the front of the church.  Rupert explained that we will be praying and asking GOD to send the HOLY SPIRIT.  And they will know that they have received it, by praying in tongues.  (somewhat of a challenge to know if someone is praying in tongues if you do not understand Portuguese or Makua)  Elias assisted in this task.  After a while, the prayer subsided and we asked how many received that SPIRIT.  About 2 or 3 raised their hands.  We were obviously very excited, but not satisfied and could see that the ones who did not receive, was disappointed.  So, we prayed again. And continued, and motivated and assisted and encouraged.  After a while I could not stand as my legs and arms went weak. (the last time I experienced this sensation was when I received the HOLY SPIRIT) The SPIRIT was moving and when finishing about 20 people were filled with the HOLY SPIRIT! Unbelievable? Believe it!


We braked for lunch (rice and beans), which was lovely prepared by one of the woman in the fellowship.  Pudding was a mango or two. We also went to the local fishmonger’s to buy some dinner. Prawns!






At about 14h30 we met at the church and Francois led the meeting for the afternoon session.  I was once again in awe to see the HOLY SPIRIT in action through the message. We ended at 17h30.  The fellowship then entertained us with some lovely songs. Tired, but extremely excited we ended the day.


The night was spend at Sunset Boulevard Guesthouse.  Do not be misled by “guesthouse”.  There was no running water! 





Toilets had to be flushed using a bucket and showers were taken by pouring water over yourself.   At least we had a continental breakfast to look forward to….. 


Monday, 2 December 2013


Much to our surprise the breakfast only consisted of a few Portuguese rolls, with jam, and a mango. 


After breakfast we took Elias to the local hospital to get his wound (from his shoulder operation) cleaned and bandaged. 






While waiting for him we discussed the fact that GOD is the ultimate and best provider.  Was it coincidence that the ‘leader’ of the fellowship of Namikop 2 was a hospital administrator? We think not.  What under normal circumstances would take the best part of a day took 30 minutes. Elias was taken directly to the doctors without having to sit in long queue.


With Elias cleaned up and bandaged we went for a quick visit to the Island of Mozambique.





 This island is connected to the mainland through a 3,6km single lane bridge and was the first capital of Mozambique.  We had a lovely espresso at the upmarket hotel and then onto the fellowship at Namitartare.





Namitartare is situated inland from Mussaril and on our way back to Nampula.  We arrived there at about 10h00 and were once again greeted with big, white smiles.  Today our church would be under a huge Cashew-nut tree. 





It would be slightly more challenging than the other days, as our English message would have to be translated to Portuguese and then to Makua.   While Elias spoke to the fellowship, Rupert leant over to me and said that after the introductions I will be the one to speak/ preach to the fellowship.  Nervous and excited I stood before the fellowship and began talking. 


Now looking back, it is difficult to remember what I said, but all I know is that the messages of myself, Francois and Rupert fitted like it was rehearsed.


That night while lying in bed, I felt exhausted, but contend and at peace.  Francois and I agreed that this is the way life is supposed to be.

Tuesday, 2 December 2013


Going home day! Hopefully there will be no unexpected or unpleasant surprises and we will be home by the end of the day. Whatever….  First plane from Nampula to Maputo – almost 2 hours late.  Fortunately our plane leaving from Maputo to Johannesburg was scheduled to take off only at 17h30 to land in Johannesburg at 18h30.  So we had some time to play with.  We arrived with some time to spare in Maputo.


The plane from Maputo took off 25 minutes late, but we were informed that the flight would only take 45 minutes in stead off an hour as indicated.  We would therefore still have time to catch our connecting flight to Cape Town.  To our surprise (do not know why we were surprised) the flight did take 1 hour. To add insult to injury, we landed on the runway that was furthest from the airport building.  We had to taxi over 3 runways, and then still had to board a bus to go to international arrivals. Entering the airport building, it was 7:10pm.  We still had to go through passport control, collect our luggage, go through customs, check in on the next flight and board.  This had to be done by 19h20! 


Passports were stamped by 19h17.  Rupert and I told Francois to run to the terminal to get our boarding passes. We will bring the luggage.  Approaching the carousel, our bags were next to each other and the first ones out of the plane. Never on the entire trip were our bags together, even though we always checked in at the same time.  GOD listened and answered our prayers on the plane.   Francois ‘charmed’ the lady behind the counter and by GOD’s grace we boarded the plane at 19h40 and left for Cape Town at 20h00.


On the plan I thought about what I have experienced over these few days, and looked back at disbelief….


From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank each and everyone who prayed for us.  Prayer is never in vain and we often underestimate the power it has.  A special thank you goes out to our families who send us and allowed us to share the unbelievable WORD OF GOD.  Each and everyone who supported us from home played a massive part in the success of this visit to Mozambique.





GOD bless….

Testimony


Just a short personal testimony. Going on outreach to Africa (or anywhere) has proven to be life changing for me. We go on outreach, while God is doing major "inreach" into our hearts. To illustrate - we were at O.R.Thambo waiting for our outbound flight when a shop attendant in the Ferrari shop asked Andre where we are going. He replied "we are going to do mission work in Mozambique". The man asked, "so are you a man of God?" Andre hesitated for a second and then answered, " uuuh, yes..., I certainly want to be..."
That summed up the kind of hearts we had on our way there, but what grace the Lord Jesus had, and what change occurred as we spend time together with Rupert and Elias in the presence of the Lord, in much prayer together and in reading, and exhortation and ministry. Our hearts were melted together, our love for Jesus renewed, our vision and purpose shaped by His will. The dross that we carried with us was removed and we just experienced a "new touch of fire on our souls".

If I can testify on behalf of André and say that in this year he has gone from being a 'good nominal christian", to being truly born again, baptised, filled with the Holy Spirit, and eagerly desiring the sincere milk of God's word. Coming on outreach with us has catapulted this man into ministry and a desire to serve the Lord. We praise the Lord for His great grace on us all and the privilege to serve Him. Other brethren should plan and look to the Lord for an oppertunity to go with on these outreaches, and experience the amazing "inreach" that God performs.

Western Cape Family Camp October 2013


This past year has been a busy, productive and fruitful 12 months in the Western Cape Work and the speed with which the annual family camp appeared just emphasized how much the Lord Jesus has been doing.



Folk from all the various fellowships and True Light groups came together traveling from Southfield, Montague Gardens, Durbanville North, Thornton, Gansbaai, Langebaan, and Somersetwest with Peter and Linda Michell joining us all the way from Eastlondon.



A wonderful time of fellowship and unity was a particular highlight of the weekend, not to mention the powerful testimony of the Lord Jesus among us. He spoke directly and clearly by the Holy Ghost bringing a beautiful revelation of the Body of Christ. I will not attempt to outline the ministry because it would be impossible to do it any justice but just wish to recognize how every word, every song, every testimony and every spiritual gift fused together to produce a message that has had a transforming power on all who heard it.




We are so grateful to the Lord for the richness of His goodness toward us, not only on this weekend but over the whole year. With great anticipation we look forward to the work ahead of us because we know He is in it, has blessed it and He will add the increase. The Lord Jesus is building His Church and we rejoice in the part we have in that building.
